Economy
Value
I bought the car pre-registered, so got a good discount. A lot of car for the money.
Costs
Only costs so far have been for fuel. I find it very economical even when I push it hard and also do a lot of inner-city driving. Compared to previous Vectra, my fuel costs have dropped.

Driving
Has a good feel and feedback. Corners well, with positive feel from steering wheel. With a lot of inner-city driving, I find this car is not boring or frustrating.
Performance
Good for nipping 'in-and-out'. Leaves many others behind. Allows me to lead the pack when it's busy, and also packs a punch, even in 4th gear.

Living with it
Reliability
No problems so far, after 14 months.
Image
I like it, but it doesn't really turn heads.
Comfort
Good firm seat grip, though the sports suspension can be a bit hard - but it needs that to get the best out of the sports feel.

Fortunately never needed to use it, fingers crossed.

Have bought 7 cars from from same dealer. I guess I'm satisfied with their service!
